THREE teenagers have been arrested after Abingdon and Witney College was broken into over the weekend.

Burglars stole laptops, destroyed computer screens and threw eggs at the college in Wootton Road, Abingdon.

Police were called on Saturday after staff at the college said the building had been broken into between 8.10am and 8.40am.

The burglars damaged security cameras, walls and carpets by throwing eggs, destroyed several computer monitors by smashing them and stole laptops from across the college.

Staff yesterday were still accounting for all of the laptops in the building, so could not definitively say how many had been taken.

Principal Teresa Kelly said: “There was a break-in at the weekend.

“There has been minor damage to a teaching space but disruption has been kept to a minimum.

“Classes have not been affected.

“We are working with the police to resolve the situation.”

Three 15-year-olds from Abingdon were arrested on Saturday on suspicion of burglary.

They were bailed until February 15.
